Carhartt WIP X Toogood collaboration
The team created a collection with architectural proportions and airy shapes, blending classic Carhartt WIP aesthetics with Toogood’s straightforward approach. The apparel items in the collection have been redesigned in a Toogood-esque manner. Erica Toogood, Toogood’s co-founder, emphasized how the two brands share similar principles, adding,
“This partnership came from a really natural place for both businesses,” she went on to say. “Carhartt WIP’s heritage of reimagining and sculpting traditional clothing blends seamlessly with Toogood’s homage to trades and workwear, reinvented and sculpted with creative license.”
The pieces are made in a mild color palette of off-white, black, and “Hamilton-Brown,” adhering to the utilitarian and simple style. The capsule collection includes two separate jacket designs, a shirt, overalls, a trouser, and a t-shirt that incorporates pieces from both companies’ lines.
Toogood has created a series of one-of-a-kind patterns comprised of patchwork combinations made from contrasting fabrics to highlight the re-cutting and re-working method. At Milan’s Salone del Mobile furniture expo, the items will be shown with three creative puppets dressed in enormous reproductions of the collection’s outfits.
